Gee, I'm terribly sorry you've been so inconvenienced, sir. We will try to keep it quiet in here so as not to disturb you further.

If you would like to speak with someone about this problem, please call our "In-thread customer service and complaint line" at 1-800-DarnYou....now I do have to advise you that the service is only open from 11PM till 11:30PM just ONE night during the week, and we haven't figured out yet which night. Again, thank you for contacting us and please have a very pleasant day!

Re: DON"T LIE!! Ok now to the truth: Did you think Hick's had it in him all along?

I'd like to place a service call with the in-thread customer service:

There's a glitch with poster Retired_Doc. His font is showing blue on my screen. Please advise when you can fix this as it's extremely distracting. I find the color elevates my anxiety levels causing my posts to be inefficient.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response and a quick resolution.

Dear Mr (or Mrs) (or in the event you are a young attractive, unmarried female, MISS) Hitman,

Thank you very much for your notice. Even though we are technically "closed" we are more than happy to respond to your all-important, out-of-breath message. From the time stamp of your early-morning message, we can surely sense your elevated level of "blue-font anxiety."

We contacted the poster in question, one Retired_Doc. Now we do have to mention that this guy is a bit quirky and eccentric. As you probably know, he is not a young man. Not a "spring chicken" as we say. Anyway, we asked the good Doctor why the obnoxious blue font? His response was that as he scans through the thread seeking to respond to any and all posters, his "old" eyes ain't what they used to be, and as such, the blue font, he tells us, allows him to immediately recognize that post as one of his own, and therefore not a post that requires his response. Like I said, this character is a bit quirky. You should see all the other complaints we've received over this over-the-hill clown. So, unfortunately the old codger needs to continue using the obnoxious blue font.

Say, I know what you can do to mess him up: You should also type in blue font. That'd really confuse him, huh?

Re: DON"T LIE!! Ok now to the truth: Did you think Hick's had it in him all along?

How about this guy, Mr. Hicks. Wowsers! Last night in our 6 to 3 loss to the emotionally confused Pittsburgh Pirates, ONE man's performance stands out! And that man is Mr. Hicks. Ponder this: It's the top of the 8th inning. Two outs, a runner on first and Mr. Hicks standing in the batter's box--ZING, an all important infield single by Mr. Hicks owing mostly to the employment of his blinding speed. And speaking of speed Mr. Hicks then proceeds to steal second base. (In a cloud of dust and a mighty "Hi Ho Silver, away!") Then with a chance to tie the game (thanks to Mr. Hicks,) Holliday strikes out and there goes the ballgame. The Yanks were a pathetic 0 for 7 w/RISP! Dreadful.

But we can't blame the dramatically under-appreciated Mr. Hicks, now can we? He set the table but no one cleaned up.

LOOK at Mr. Hicks' record thus far: Second on the team in OBP! 4th in B.A. FIRST in RBI's to AB ratio! FIRST in walks to AB ratio! FIRST in HR's to AB ratio....Need I go on?

Needless to say Mr. Hicks is accomplishing all of this with limited at bats! The guy needs a rhythm. Yet Girardi stays with the anemic-hitting Gardner. I like Gardner a lot, but he is no Hicks, that's for sure.

Listen, the problem with us human beings is that we tend to take things for granted. This is WRONG! We must appreciate everything we have. With that said, TRUE appreciation for say, your feet needs to result in the following remedy: Take a couple months off walking on your feet and walk on your hands instead. I do it all the time. WHAT a sense of accomplishment!

Have you any earthly idea how many miles you walk on your feet every day? It's between 1 and 6 miles on avg. So multiply all the days of your life times say an avg of 3.5 miles and that's how many miles your feet have on them.

I clearly remember when the Chrysler Motor Car Co. came out with the first ever 50k miles/5 year warranty. Remember? Well that's a good place to start. Observe that Chrysler estimated that a car should last around 50k miles or slightly more before it broke down....................soooo how many miles have you used your feet? If the answer is over 50k miles then it's obvious to me that you need to start learning how to walk on your hands.

And Mr. Hicks comes through once again. When the game against the Pirates was very close, who could we count on? Who you gonna call? HICKSBUSTERS! The man scored two runs; annoyed Pirates relief pitcher Bastardo in to wild pitching Ellsbury home, then proceeded to hit a screeching ground rule double and of course scored.

Mr. Hicks has THE highest OBP on the entire team! AND the highest slugging %.....Wowsers!
